I've only listened to some of No Age's last full-length' Nouns' after hearing this new one. And I can see what rabid fans are on about when they
say EIB is less amazing. But it can be hard to come up with an equally scorching handful of material within two years - look at Weezer's career.
Almost like a response to the dilemma' the L.A.-based skate punkers throw down the rather pretty "Common Heat'" which seems to be about
disappointing others and/or being frustrated by life's demands. And "Katerpillar" seems to be about killing (1 minute and 30 seconds of)
time. And' uh' "Sorts" is kinda aimless. But "Dusted" does a nice job of meandering - like something you'd hear on a soundtrack and think'
"I need to find out who that band is."
